One of the hottest new trends in online shopping has made it easier than ever to get gorgeous without spending a fortune. Rent the Runway lets you rent dresses from top designers, wear them and return them in a pre-paid package via the Netflix model. They’ll even send you the dresses you order in two sizes to ensure they will fit!

It’s a fun new way to find the perfect dress for your engagement party, rehearsal dinner, holiday parties and more. Here’s what would be on my wish list for holiday party season, from Versace to Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez and Diane von Furstenberg (oh my!):

I don’t use the word “sassy” on a regular basis, but I can’t think of a better word for these short, flirty little dresses I saw on Style Collective! I love the ruffles and layers, and the punch of color on the bridesmaid options. So fun!

Would you ever wear a short dress? What type of wedding can you craft around a look like this? What do you think about this whimsical style?

Most of my friends agree that one of the best parts of award season is watching the red carpet arrivals. From hair and makeup to glamorous gowns and exceptional accessories, there’s a wealth of ideas to be gained from watching celebs strut their stuff. Here’s a few of our favorite looks from last night’s Emmy’s:

White Doesn’t Have to Be Basic

January Jones and Olivia Wilde take classic wedding hues to a new level with intricate gowns that combine architecture, movement and grace.

Backs that Make a Splash

Kate Walsh and Jennifer Morrison had gorgeous gowns that looked just as stunning from the back as they did from the front. This is particularly important for a bride who will spend much of the ceremony with her back to the guests in attendance.

Jewel Tones Are Chic as Ever

We love the way Julia Louis Dreyfus and Mary Louise Parker let their jewel tones pop by keeping their silhouettes simple and timeless. Keep this in mind for bridesmaid’s dresses they will be willing to wear again!
